Fremantle sits in the top third of Western Australia for solar uptake, ranking 77th in the state out of 388 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. Growth has been strong, with 154 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 22% increase on the previous year, making Fremantle one of Western Australia's faster-growing solar postcodes.
The combined impact is substantial: Fremantle's solar community avoids an estimated 18,284 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 8,707 cars off the road or powering around 3,657 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using Western Australia's average grid emissions intensity of 630 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
